Football Poets

Some hearts are scrawled on walls in chalk
Splayed from the incessant hiss of graffiti mischief
Deliciously illicitly scribbled
Tagged and snagged
With initials and street sentiment
Others are carved […]

En route to Kensal Rise, via Stamford Bridge,
At behest of the quare one, and Sean’s kids
His hearse purred to a halt at The Bovril Gate
We clambered out, sparked a pensive smoke
Reminiscing a, you had to h […]

Liverpool 0-1 Brighton

It’s three wins on the trot
With the Seagulls in good form
Potter’s boys handle it good
Cooking up a real storm

City have beaten Burnley
It’s three points we need
Still it is […]

What does it mean
the luck who had been alredy
played ?
What is the law of the luck alredy played?
Relationship between space and time
A form of Time Dilation

The club eliminated in the previous
F.A CUP […]

We fall in love with football
Almost unconsciously
The exact moment like birth not remembered
Perhaps fragments of infancy posited
Alongside childhood dreams
And growing pains

The sweet confusions […]

Imagine Sir Tom on the pitch
As the heartbeat of the side
Sheer moments of brilliance
He’d be never one to hide

You made the simple brilliant
Your legacy is off the charts
You were the only choice
To l […]

Do you remember old tales about football in the Fifties
How your skill might spare you from going down the mines?
How Jackie and Bobby would be out near the colliery
Surrounded by Milburns and the rest of […]

Asked to play out on the wing down The Den
Greavsie uttered, “Nah, sorry boss, never again
Been here before, couple a times in The Cup
Bleating dockers trying a kick me, tripping me up
I’ve played centre for […]

*Addio Paolo Rossi. Grazie per i recordi.
Buonanotte, che il vostro Dio vada con vio.
Which I sincerely hope translates as:
Farewell Paolo Rossi. Thank you for the memories.
Goodnight, and may your God go with […]

Re-hired, then fired, The Special One
Told, Frankie Lampard, “Sorry son
Come in, collect ya cards, be on yer way”,
A brooding bawling Conte met his match
Packed off home, tin-tacked, dispatched
To do his hig […]

West Ham 1-2 Liverpool

Mane out, Bobby on the bench
Klopp’s champs are back in the race
Redmen march on London
Mo Salah with an awesome brace

Liverpool with a ruthless lesson
Wijnaldum adds to the fun […]

Rideout, Radzinsky, Radmilo
I say this as Rideout and Radzinsky were prominent Everton players, Radmilo was striker in Blue shirt of
Zeljeznicar from Sarajevo in the 1980’s
From small town in Bosnia
he ended […]

I miss going to Football
Covid 19 keeping fans away
It’s on TV so I suppose its ok
And it’s on every day
Artificial crowd noise accompany the play
Nothing like watching from stands I say

I miss going to […]

Tottenham 1-3 Liverpool

Liverpool visit the capital
Fabinho is ruled out
Mane early in the game
Close to ending the drought

Son puts Spurs ahead
Disallowed by VAR
Mane squares on half time
To easy for […]

When football is not quite the Beautiful Game
It’s flowing locks locked down and cramped
Messed up in clumsy tackles and mistimed passes
And our hearts choked in pandemic pandemonium
Glued to tellys and […]

How to lose the fans
From the very very start
Drop all the young guns
And pick those without a heart

How to lose the fans
And tear our club apart
Don’t you dare, don’t you DARE
Force the juvenescent to depart

Another defeat and all to do
If were not to stay in division 2
Fans moaning doom and gloom
not good enough I can only assume

Games running out we need a win
Manager taking it on the chin
Same excuses week […]

A journey from the Premier league
To the point of going bust
How the hell did we end up
With owners we couldn’t trust
The EFL seemed blinkered
Not a care for club nor fans
They couldn’t pay the players or […]

Liverpool 0-1 Burnley

Hunting hasn’t been happy
Strike force shoot in the dark
Liverpool struggle for goals
With the stats looking stark

With seven minutes to go
There’s a break in the play
Alisson con […]
